Picture This – Photography Fundamentals
Oct 11 @ 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Discover the fundamentals of photography with professional photographer Jacques Gaines.

With the help of professional photographer Jacques Gaines, the Morrin Centre offers a series of five photography workshops. Each workshop will present a different aspect of photography, from framing to photo-editing.

In this workshop, Gaines will be introducing participants to the fundamentals of photography.

Participants may either audit the workshop (attend just to watch) or bring the following items to actively participate in the exercises:

A camera. Whether a $100 camera or a $5000 camera, we do not care. Anything goes! It can even be your phone, though it should then be a fairly recent phone.
The picture you are most proud of. It can be a digital copy or a print. (You do not have to show it to the class).

In addition to that, please:
Dress for the weather outside. After the workshop, for those willing, the teacher will sometimes do a small photo walk if we have the time.
Make sure you have eaten before coming. It’s not fun having a student in a bad mood!

Picture This – Photography Composition
Oct 25 @ 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Come discover the secrets of composition in photography with professional photographer Jacques Gaines

With the help of professional photographer Jacques Gaines, the Morrin Centre offers a series of five photography workshops. Each workshop will present a different aspect of photography, from framing to photo-editing.

In this workshop, Gaines will discuss the secrets behind photography composition.

Participants may either audit the workshop (attend just to watch) or bring the following items to actively participate in the exercises:

A camera. Whether a $100 camera or a $5000 camera, we do not care. Anything goes! It can even be your phone, though it should then be a fairly recent phone.
The picture you are most proud of. It can be a digital copy or a print. (You do not have to show it to the class).
In addition to that, please:

Dress for the weather outside. After the workshop, for those willing, the teacher will sometimes do a small photo walk if we have the time.
Make sure you have eaten before coming. It’s not fun having a student in a bad mood!

Tickets now on sale for QAC’s The Game’s Afoot

Reserve your tickets without delay for the latest top-notch theatrical offering from the Quebec Art Company, Quebec City’s premier community theatre troupe.

Ken Ludwig’s The Game’s Afoot; Holmes for the Holidays is described as “breathtaking mystery and high hilarity in equal parts.”

The plot: Broadway star William Gillette has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, who just happens to think he’s Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears.

Cue the laughs and gasps! The danger and laughter are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Featuring a talented cast and directed by Cheryl Rimmer, The Game’s Afoot takes to the stage of CEGEP Champlain-St. Lawrence for four performances, opening Thursday, Nov. 24 and finishing with a Sunday matinee.

Tickets now on sale for QAC’s The Game’s Afoot

Reserve your tickets without delay for the latest top-notch theatrical offering from the Quebec Art Company, Quebec City’s premier community theatre troupe.

Ken Ludwig’s The Game’s Afoot; Holmes for the Holidays is described as “breathtaking mystery and high hilarity in equal parts.”

The plot: Broadway star William Gillette has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, who just happens to think he’s Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears.

Cue the laughs and gasps! The danger and laughter are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Featuring a talented cast and directed by Cheryl Rimmer, The Game’s Afoot takes to the stage of CEGEP Champlain-St. Lawrence for four performances, opening Thursday, Nov. 24 and finishing with a Sunday matinee.

Tickets are $20 and can be reserved on the QAC website (quebecartcompany.com).
